You Have Heard My Vows 1(60:1) For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer. 2(60:2) From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me: 3(60:3) because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy. 4(60:4) I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause. 5(60:5) For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. 6(60:6) Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations. 7(60:7) He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth? 8(60:8) So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
